  • Investment bankers covering CEE breathed a sigh of relief last year as their market sprang back to life after two years in the doldrums.

  • Last year’s winner of the newly minted award for financing in Africa was Citi, and Citi again did well in the last 12 months. But Absa wins the award this time round, thanks in large part to its impressive work in South Africa.
  • Western Europe’s best bank for wealth management, Lombard Odier, was established 220 years ago. Yet despite a tight connection to its roots and with Patrick Odier as managing partner, the bank is an example of the new model of wealth management.
  • In less than 10 years, Ally Financial has transformed itself from an auto finance company into the fastest growing digital financial services provider in the US. Over the year, it made further strides on that journey and wins Euromoney’s award for best digital bank in North America.
